The first week of 2019 was the most-attended regular season week in the whole Kontinental Hockey League’s history. 182,060 spectators flooded the gate for the 22 scheduled games, for an average of 8,275 a night.

KHL.ru keeps on reviewing the seasons for the league’s teams. Today it’s the turn of Dinamo Minsk. One of the most popular teams in Belarus had a rocky start of the season, then improved things a bit, but without managing to get to the playoffs.

Dinamo Minsk head coach Gordie Dwyer, former Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers and Montrea Canadiens forward, spoke to KHL.ru about his first year with the Belarusian team, the challenges he faced during the season, and his hopes and expectations for the next campaign.

Today, the Latvian capital hosts a KHL regular championship match played in the open air – the second of the season, and indeed, only the second in the League's 10-year history. The game is a contest between the two Dinamos, with Riga welcoming the men from Minsk, and khl.ru is at the venue reporting back on preparations for this historic event.
